Feasibility, Usability and Acceptability of Paediatric Lung Ultrasound among Healthcare Providers and Caregivers for the Diagnosis of Childhood Pneumonia in Resource-constrained Settings

Paediatric pneumonia burden and mortality are highest in low-income and middle-income countries (LMIC). Paediatric lung ultrasound (LUS) has emerged as a promising diagnostic tool for pneumonia in LMIC. Despite a growing evidence base for LUS use in paediatric pneumonia diagnosis, little is known about its potential for successful implementation in LMIC. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the feasibility, usability and acceptability of LUS in the diagnosis of paediatric pneumonia.
